Autumn Plants and Applications

X446 (3 semester units in Landscape Architecture)

A requirement in the Certificate Program in Landscape Architecture

This field-trip course presents a detailed study of the visual characteristics, nomenclature, cultural requirements, and design applications of 125 landscape plant species. Emphasis is on plants valued for their autumn foliage, color, blooms, or fruit. You learn to recognize the plants in several situations and stages of maturity, and to develop a plant palette varied enough to be used in preparing basic planting plans. Note: Class meeting locations change weekly. Wear walking shoes.
